He was an Ay Lmao and the Zone was his home.

At least that what I got from the movie.

The game and the movie have almost nothing in common.

>>79373977
Read "Roadside Picnic" first, then the movie. The book is closer to the game then the movie.

>Not knowing he was a Duty agent all along to stop the paranormal menace.

>>79374073
roadside picnic is so good, everyone should read it

>>79373977
the movie is not related to the game, but its one of the greatest movies ever made

I'll look into this, thanks for posting, I'd never heard of it before.

immediatly after watching the movie there was one scene that stuck out to me
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzyN5MeMVdw

and then it hit me, he isnt speaking to the other men, he is speaking to us
the unusual cuts before it representing the rules of the films reality being broken
calling out all those who seek the objective truth or meaning in art, which Tarkovsky was very outspoken about
"even in this which has no rules", this place in this instance is the movie, and its own rules

so this is true cinema

He wanted to experience something new in his life and maybe find a new meaning to it, like most people that come to the Zone.

>>79374748
but he knew about the room, hence he talked shit about the Professor
plus when they enter the zone,he says that he was lying he said he wanted to see something new

>>79373050
what bothered me the most is that the most famous shot from the movie, shown in op, never actually happens in the movie
he never turns around

I don't remember the movie well since I saw it a long time ago, but didn't he want, deep down, to escape from his work as a writer? His monologue in the well was about this.

>>79373050
>I still cant figure out why Writer went into the zone
In soviet russia, zone goes into you.

>>79376029
thats not helping at all

>>79373050
its the same ideas as the shining.
its a story about a story.

>>79374102
And skip the movie which managed to lose all the cinematic elements. Like zombie Dad wandering home. WTF Tarkovsky?

>>79376449
>thinking the book is better than the movie
american education has ruined art
